Summary:
- Bitcoin Cash's Infrastructure Funding Plan (IFP) intends to reallocate funds from miners to BCH developers;
- The idea is controversial, with BCH leader Roger Ver and many other community members opposing the plan;
- Despite the backlash, there is still some demand for the feature, currently pending activation of the Bitcoin Cash node software.
Ver’s comments relate to Bitcoin Cash’s Infrastructure Funding Program (IFP), a controversial new program that could launch in November.
Dash vs Bitcoin Cash

One commenter noted that Dash’s approach is stricter than the IFP’s, as Dash developers must be approved by masternode operators before receiving funding. Ver responded that this "sounds a lot better" than the IFP proposal.

november is coming
The Bitcoin Cash community has been divided on the IFP issue since February of this year. The proposal was brought up and withdrawn several times, but it finally came into the spotlight again as the November BCH blockchain upgrade approached.

Waves of ups and downs rise again
Waves of ups and downs rise again
In early August, the BCH community had disagreements over the November hard fork.
One core of this upgrade is to improve the Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm (DAA). When BCH was launched, DAA was used to ensure that the network would not go down suddenly, but this algorithm has a side effect, which is to make the network computing power and block production speed extremely unstable. Eventually, the BCH network intends to improve on this algorithm. Previously, developer Jonathan Toomim proposed a proposal called "aserti3-2d (ASERT DAA)". This proposal provides sufficient code and has been reviewed by multiple node implementations and external experts. But shortly after Jonathan Toomim's proposal, Amaury created a new DAA proposal called Grasberg. The General Protocols project in the community believes that Grasberg has not yet passed the review of most nodes, and ABC has not provided further test data to support it, so it calls on the community to oppose Amuary's proposal.
On August 6, a number of BCH developers issued a joint statement, announcing that they will implement the "aserti3-2d" difficulty adjustment algorithm proposed by Jonathan Toomim on the BCH chain on November 15.
So far, the community war on upgrading the algorithm has come to an end.

Will BCH Split Again?
Debate rages over whether this rift will lead to the project being split in two again in November. If the fork does happen, the event will be seen as a repeat of history in 2018, when a disagreement over the block size led to the split of Bitcoin SV from Bitcoin Cash.
